Designed by David Dyer Saddles in collaboration with Ideal, the DJ Monoflap Pony GP Saddle was created specifically to give smaller riders a closer, more secure feel on broad ponies.
Wide pony saddles can inevitably create bulk beneath a little rider’s seat and leg, particularly with a traditional dual-flap construction. For children with shorter legs, this can make it harder to feel close to the pony and maintain a naturally balanced position. The DJ uses a monoflap design to significantly reduce that bulk, allowing the rider’s leg to sit closer to the pony for improved feel, communication and stability.
Built on Ideal’s WR12 open-head tree, the saddle has been designed with the broader, more defined-withered pony in mind – particularly the type of conformation often seen in Welsh Section A ponies.
The saddle is made in split bull leather, chosen for its beautifully soft, grippy feel while still offering the durability needed from a hardworking children’s saddle. A soft, slim and broad panel helps the saddle mould comfortably around the pony while keeping the rider as close as possible.
Finished with distinctive blue welting, the DJ combines a smart, modern appearance with a design developed around the needs of both pony and young rider.
